New hide finished

Friday, October 8th 2010

Both sets of contractors, who are working on site at the moment, are pleased that the good weather is holding. The warm temperature has allowed the soggy ground to dry up a bit making work easier.

New hide

ATM were continuing their work on the moorland path and along the Sycamore avenue, whilst at the lake Trevor's team have finished the new hide. Whilst there is still work ongoing with the new bridge and walkway, from Monday the new hide will be open to go into. As you can see from these photos it is a beautiful new asset for the reserve. We hope you will enjoy using it.
